How close are these colors. I'm doing Tom's parchment seats and need a color for my door panels and rollbar. I'd like them to be fairly close vs a bright white with parchment seats. I've seen the threads about a parchment paint code. But seems it's not a color paint shops have.

Parchment has some yellow in it and on the dash / door panels it is sort of a satin finish.

Wimbledon is more on the white scale and has more of a gloss finish.

Everyone has different tastes when it comes to paint, some people are traditionalists only using factory colors, others use more current colors and finishes.

Maybe get a paint shop to do a spray out on a few sample tags and do some comparisons?

Rustoleum Satin Ivory Silk is very close to original Parchment, even to the satin sheen.

So it's the Toms parchment that I'm matching. I've heard it's whiter than original parchment.

Hmmmm I wonder how well that will match my dash that was supposed to be Wimbledon but came out a little off. I may try a test piece to compare also.
